Cheme82's CBB plays for November

[Cheme82]

CBB starts today, let's see what happens.

As far as unit sizes and bankroll management I start every sport with a 100 unit bankroll (each unit is 1% of my bankroll). My range is 1-5% of my bankroll on any given day, so the first day I bet I can only bet between 1-5 units but as my bankroll changes, my unit amount changes even though my range (1-5%) doesn't change.

My records have the total amount of units I won or lost on any given season, the original 100 unit bankroll is not included, so basically in 2008 NFL for example I made 359.45 units (after deducting the units I lost on teasers). That is pure profit and if there were games today then my bankroll would be 459.45 (the profit so far plus the 100 units I started with), that means that the most I could bet on any given game is about 23 units (5% of my roll). I mention this because you won't catch me betting huge amounts of units unless I have the bankroll to make those plays, in other words in 2009 CFB when I lost 89.28 units of my CFB bankroll there was no way I could have played Florida -whatever for 100 units, these are my real bets and my real bankroll and we all know real bankrolls don't allow you to do that.

If I lose all my bankroll for 1 sport then that's it, I'm done for the year. I might stop playing even before I lose it all. I won't "borrow" from another sport, each sport has it's individual bankroll and if I blow it then I probably shouldn't be playing that sport anyway (at least for that season).

The goal is to double the roll in the season, ambitious but it can be done.

Everyone is welcome guys, critics, supporters, haters, whatever.

Good luck to everyone this season and let's toast to a fun and hopefully profitable season.

Nice start.
BOL this season Cheme82. I hope you keep 1 game per day so I can tail

[Cheme82]

Thanks bro, with the amount of games I believe it is safe to assume I will have plays on most days, several of them.

Ignore this, posting while driving lol. Meant to go to my CFB thread.

[jolmscheid]

1-0 already....+2 units...beautiful start Cheme

[jolmscheid]

I am following your other sports too Cheme, but do you have an NHL thread? Thanks!

[Cheme82]

No sir, my local doesn't take NHL so I don't mess with it.

[oh_lol]

Good luck, I'll be popping in here regularly

[Cheme82]

Thanks bro, good luck to you as well.

So im your buying points up to -165 to get those lines correct?

[Cheme82]

Yeah, 3 points at 10 cents per half point. I get -105 juice on regular spreads.

[jolmscheid]

I know I already asked this I think Cheme....but if I am at 5Dimes for instance and I can get half points for 10 cents for my first 1.5 points, should I do that? Should I buy 1.5 points then? Cuz after that, it goes more than 10 cents...thanks!

[Cheme82]

Use the calculator with Pinnacle lines and then check to see if buying points gives you an edge. More often than not you won't find an edge by buying 1.5 points at -140 but sometimes you will.

BL brother. Always hard in the first few weeks of the season!

[Cheme82]

Thanks man, looking to rebound this weekend.

cheme are you going through every game (all sports) looking for the edge with 3 points or are you looking at 1 and 2 points and so on? also what edge is a play (example 1% or higher) for you? also noticed some half bets in foots, can you buy the points on those too? thanks.

[Cheme82]

In hoops I do it on every game. Usually the 3 points will give you the biggest edge (if there is any) but sometimes I won't buy any points or buy less than 3. In football it's easier because there are less key numbers and I only buy hooks or 1 point, it's unusual that I buy more than 1 point.

I don't know if I understood correctly but the edge % that the calculator shows is the % of my bankroll that I put on the game (to win). So if I find a play with 1% edge then I bet to win 1% of my bankroll (the current bankroll on that sport). I max out at 10 units because my local has me down to dime max bets.

I was buying hooks for halves and even for quarters. I can't play quarters anymore and only the halves when he sends the lines (not very often) so I'm down to mostly full-game wagers and full-game CP's.

What accounts for the great discrepancy between your unit count and record for CFB? I looked at the thread briefly; is it parlays?

Betting a ton of plays, quarters, halves, CPs, etc.

Parlays, 2, 3, and 4-teamers.

Gosh dang guys... I really wish I could have a local that you guys get...that would be killer!

It's not hard to find a local - are you in the states? Seriously, locals just seem to find you. Hang out in the sports bars a few times, talk about how you have $x on this game, etc. I have no issue finding locals.

[jolmscheid]

Yea that's the problem...I don't wanna like get in trouble or caught or somethin'...ha

[jolmscheid]

I'm in MN but don't know any locals
